They have the same M.O. with every issue. In their 2002 election losses, the explanation (excuse) was that they "didn't get their message out." In Nov. 2004, it was that they got it out, but the American electorate was "too stupid (and too Christian) to understand the message."
Dick Durbin just explained his inexcusable remarks not with an apology, but with regret that the public didn't understand the historical comparisons he had used, or "misinterpreted" his remarks.
At no time does this party, or any of its spokespeople admit that they were wrong. That's how it is when people or whole organizations are deeply narcissistic....and arrogant on top of it.

But what's disturbing to me is that some normally "conservative" posters on FR are such rabid supporters of Death-For-Terri.
I think Bushbacker has it right (in post 101): These posters are not really conservatives at all, but libertarians. They have revealed themselves. (And if memory serves, many of those same posters are "pro-choice" too.)
And most libertarians, in my experience, are as narcissistic as leftists.
